I haven't made this recipe myself yet, but every time I go to visit Mommachef it is on my request list. Mommachef is a fabulous cook and it says a lot that out of her arsenal of awesome this is one that we come back to again and again. Thanks for posting the recipe--I'm sure it will be in my oven very soon!

Wow!! What a good pie! I thought a pear pie would be too bland, but this recipe has lots of flavor and the crunchy topping adds even more. Might be too sweet for some, but I liked it and so did my husband.

Amazingly good! Very caramel-ly! I was lazy and didn't want to bother with a pie crust, so just made it as a crisp. I even left the peels on. I will make this again and again (a good way to use up too many ripe pears).

I've been meaning to write my review for a few weeks now...after having made this pie 3 times already this Fall. I wasn't too sure about the Cheddar cheese but was it ever the best! The topping is just sweet enough to offset the pear filling. We had so many left-over pears and this was a wonderful way to use them up. I even made a pie for my neighbors..they loved it! Thanks much for sharing.

Very good flavor. I omitted the crust and made cheddar pear crisp. I also added a dash of cloves, 3/4 tsp. minced ginger, and replaced the cornstarch with 1 tbs. tapioca. This recieved rave reviews from everyone who tried it!
